Introduction to this week’s sermon
The Second Sunday of Easter we hear from the Gospel of John, where the risen Christ meets the disciples with peace and invites Thomas into a faith that makes room for both wonder and doubt. It’s a story of doors opened and hearts steadied by grace.
Introduction to this week’s readings
In today’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace. Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and meal, and in our everyday lives. Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter. Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism.
